Who is BoB..? You cannot refer to this game. Birds of Brey?

[EDIT] Battle of Britain - I'm dumb

Why is everyone caring about the little thing, i mean it is only a cannon. I mean yes it shouldn't be their, but its just a demo. Plus its the first game of its kind so, lets all love it untill they make it perfect in other games. Jeeze that didn't sound cheezy at all...

The cannon are probably a good thing. Ever tried to bring down a He111 using the 8 .303s on a Hurricane I or Spitfire Ia (mod only) in any of the PC Il2 games?

It can lead to a lot of frustration, especially when it takes most of your ammo to kill one bomber.

yep - try head-on, one quick squirt at the greenhouse up front and bye-bye Heinkel.

That works, but it means you have to get head on passes every time to stand a decent chance of getting a kill, although it is possible to knock out engines as well. Where the .303s really lose out though is against fighters, because a Bf109E with 2x20mm plus 2x7.92mm guns can get crippling snap shots off against a Spitfire or Hurricane, while you need to get very lucky or put a lot of .303 rounds into a Bf109 to get any decent damage.

I didn't notice any limited ammo (and that's not something I'd like to see anyway). Unlimited ammo makes for more playability, you can be as sparing with it as you like if you've got the skill anyway.

I think getting it wrong in the demo means they'll get it wrong in the full game unless it's brought to their attention. I just want a Batttle of Britain game that's right for once, that's all I ask!

BoB is battle of britain.. BoP.. BoB... easy mistake to make
